[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread (and a bunch of others that have been popping up since the latest surge of BLM - like the one about having a pod is racist) has been very entertaining to me. You people (I am guessing all white) are hilarious in a crazy kind of way to me as an immigrant poc. It is really hard for me to understand (not being snarky) how much angsty and drama you put into this.

It would never occur to me to not offer my children the best education possible within my mean just because poor minority children can't have the same (lack or resources or parental involvement). I don't begrudge all the services and $$$ that goes into trying to level the field for all children and provide all with a quality education. That absolutely should be the goal.

However, while we are not there and we don't have a quality education for all children, I will certainly supplement and do whatever I can within my means to give my own children the best I can afford.

Unfortunately I cannot afford a good private school so I am limited to supplementing, hiring tutors, making sure they have access to good books (and making them read), sitting down and studying/teaching them.

They are bound to go to what I consider a bad high school, so yeah, I have to work at home to make up for it. And I don't begrudge the parents who enroll their children at excellent private school or move to a good MS/HS boundary because I would do the same if I could - in a heartbeat and without any guilty.

The goal of these people (and many here) is great, but I am not putting this on the back of my children't education. [/quote]

Almost everyone is logical like you are.  The only people worried about this are idiots.[/quote]
